SpokenText: Convert text to mp3

Confession: I download a lot of documents and web pages, and even print some of them out - with the full intention of reading them. But to be honest, I end up reading only a fraction of what I save. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to read everything I want to .

If you also have trouble keeping up with reading electronic documents, a solution is now available. My web designer, Linda Chapman, alerted me to SpokenText, a web-based service that converts documents, emails and even web pages to speech, and produces audio files that you can download to your iPod or mp3 player.

Listen to the audios in the car, while walking the dog, doing household chores, exercising, etc. Since the speech is robot-generated, you probably won't want to use this service for entertainment-type reading. But for brief, informational pieces, it's ideal.
